Has anyone tried the Alphadry male catheter? My dad has started using it. He has been incontinent since 1989 when he had his prostate removed because of prostate cancer. We are going to Cleveland Clinic to see an Urologist specializing in male incontinence. We are trying to see what help is available for his incontinence. This doctor has used the AMS Advantage male sling surgery. My dad has severe incontinence, no control of his bladder. He uses diapers all the time, except recently when he has used the Alphadry. I think with his limited usage, about 10 times, it shows promise. My dad feels it is more comfortable than diapers and it keeps him dry. Also he is regaining his sensation of urinating which he has lost while wearing diapers. He has worn it for up to ten hours. There are people who wear it 24/7. He has problems securing the device, condom, so that it is not too tight, nor too loose. He has trouble using it at night. His urine isn"t flowing to the reservoir, but backing into his bladder. This is not much, 3-4 oz. , since his bladder has been nonfunctional for so many years. Has anyone used penile clamps? I feel that this forum is the best one I have found. My dad and I will share what we find out. I will include two websites, Alphadry and the best clamp that I found.
